Intro to Markup

A markup language is a system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text. Markup languages tend to encourage writers to focus on content and structure before concerning themselves with presentation.

Structure is defined for a processor through the use of tags embedded directly in the text.

One of the original markup languages, and one which you will be using extensively as a web developer during this course is HTML or HyperText Markup Language. But to start, let’s look at another, slightly simpler, and very popular markup language known as Markdown.
